We've made some quite large updates today, most of which shouldn't have much impact on the frontend.

The core of it, is that we have reworked how we generate listings. This means that we can (and have) also reworked how we handle pagination (going to next and previous page), as well as other things such as excluding content that you've hidden, or from users that you've blocked, or that you've already upvoted (optionally).

While hiding content was previously possible, it wasn't viable to fill in the gaps with additional content. If you had hidden all 25 posts on the front page and refreshed, your front page wouldn't be filled with fresh content. It'd be empty.

We haven't yet made any changes to better support excluding content, but we will be doing so shortly.

The biggest change in this batch is that we now have endless scrolling, which is enabled by default on both mobile and desktop. This is in large part thanks to u/happyfave. There is a setting that can be toggled off, in case you don't like this behavior.

Additionally, pagination on the main listings (hot/new/rising/top) is now handled not by pages but by post IDs, which is another highly requested change.

The main improvements that motivated this rework will be coming soon.

Other changes unrelated to this rework include banned users being no longer able to private message anyone except moderators --- yep, this should have always been the case.

Please leave feedback, suggestions, and bug reports in the comments.

Is something going to be done with the terrible format for posting submissions, ie where you can only see the first 10 or so words of the Title you want to post??As it directly affects the quality of posts.Why are you still following Reddits terrible format they forced on T_D of not pinning high volume posts to crack down on the rampant shilling/concern trolling & brigading?

Is this an issue you have on mobile, desktop, or both?

The submission page is on the list for a revamp, but I'm not familiar with your specific issue.

I'm using a desktop with Win10/Firefox and it's all working perfectly for me so far. (I'm sure it must be challenging to make this project work for so many different devices with so many variables) You guys are kicking ass!!! <3 <3 <3

On my Lap Top as l only get a chance to get on while taking a break from the business paper work or traveling on business trips, another user posted on it a while ago as well ,until then l was going to delete & re upload as l thought it may have been a glitch in initial set up as l joined on first day.

Why are we not Pinning High Volume controversial/shill magnet posts as it is obviously out of control & such a efficient tool to use on other sites l have modded on?I thought from memory it was only reddit admin that stopped it to screw T_D over by encouraging shills & brigading

Do you have an issue, on mobile, or desktop, or what, motherfucker? Please understand devs non-stop convert real life problems to concrete code, your entire comment is beyond bullshit, AFAIC. Do you have an issue or not?
